Arsenal needs a striker though
If true then I just came a bit in my pants
however, we all know that another team that's actually serious about winning will outbid them
The bas s have the money for both
Don't ruin my dreams, damn you!![]()
a win is a win.
amazingly, the Gunners are a part of the logjam for 3rd
Somebody should tell Piers that Walcott should NEVER play central forward. He ing sucks at it.
Unimaginable: Johan Cruyff on why Arsenal should NEVER get rid of Wenger
22 Dec 2012 22:30 The Holland and Barcelona legend talks candidly to the Sunday Mirror about why Wenger must stay
Richard Heathcote
One of the greatest players of all time – Holland legend Johan Cruyff – has revealed why Arsenal would be crazy to get rid of Arsene Wenger.
Cruyff has given the Gunners boss solid backing and says the Arsenal board would be mad to even consider parting company with the Frenchman.
“Wenger will ALWAYS bring the club back to the top,” said Cruyff, who is credited by Pep Guardiola for establishing the La Masia academy at Barcelona, which *produced Lionel Messi, Xavi *Hernandez and *Andres Iniesta.
“There is one *unwritten law at the highest level of football.
“And that is that all the big clubs, which have become the biggest and most established names in world *football, have been built on a strong philiosophy of long-term managers.
“They have *developed talented players at the club and bought players to fit the style of the existing players.”
Wenger has come under fire after his team’s indifferent start to the *season, which *included the shock Capital One Cup exit at lowly Bradford.
And they have made their worst start to a Premier League season, leading Gunners fans to turn on Wenger.
But Cruyff has particular praise for Wenger’s Arsenal side of the 90s. They are part of a rich history, which also included the *Manchester United side of the 1960s under Sir Matt Busby, the Ajax team of the 70s under Rinus Michels, AC Milan in the 80s and, currently, *Barcelona.
Sir Alex *Ferguson was also *mentioned – with Wenger – for the *success he has brought to Old Trafford over 25 years.
“I have so much respect for the football vision and philosophy at *Manchester United and *Arsenal,” said Cruyff. “Both clubs have had the same manager for 15 or 25 years. Alex Ferguson is not only the man who makes sure he *performs miracles and keeps *trophies flowing in.
“He – in my eyes – is also the *symbol of values Manchester United stands for. In the same breath, I speak about Arsene Wenger.
“People do not realise the *achievement of this manager at *Arsenal.
“I find it *incredible that *Arsenal have stayed at the *highest level of *European *compe ion and *England under his management without ever ending up in debt.
“I cannot remember red figures at Arsenal over the last 15 years. How many clubs in Europe can say they have qualified for the Champions League for 16 *consecutive seasons under the same management? Arsene Wenger has put his life and soul into Arsenal.
“In 15 years, I have not seen him make any *irresponsible *purchases in the transfer *market.
“That is why the work of Arsene Wenger at *Arsenal is the prime example for every club in *Europe.
“I cannot even imagine the board or the fans would ever think for a moment of putting Arsene’s position in doubt.”
4th for the Christmas break, after Chelsea raped/murdered/massacred/burned Aston Villa.
Still doesn't change that we need transfers in January, especially because the fkn wankers are going up against Bayern in the CL.

Ba to #Arsenal. Looks likely
Yeah, I finally saw highlights of the Chelsea/Villa game
Even 4th feesl too high. This seems more like a 7th or 8th on the table team
If I didn't look at the PL table, I wouldn't realize that Arsenal are 3rd/4th. They're totally playing the complete opposite of it.
Freelance journalist @indykaila According to Spanish & Turkish reports, Arda Turan has agreed personal terms with Arsenal via @TotallyArsenal
Look at all the players being linked to Arsenal, a lot of them are left wingers. That's Arsene's you to Gervinho.
From Sky Italia, who are usually reliable:
@tancredipalmeri: Arsenal contacted Parma for algerian striker Belfodil, 20 yo, according to Sky Italy. Exploring the chance to sign him in June
^^^^video already taken off
Anyway Arsenal are linked with Zaha and David Villa? God, I hate the transfer window.
David Villa would be great. Of course knowing Arsenal it will probably be some french or ukrainian star.

Turan might be a good fit, but it's a pretty "meh" signing. If he can open things up a bit for Walcott/Giroud, it'll be worth it.
assuming Walcott stays
Chelsea might try to steal Turan
No wonder Walcott is expecting much more from Arsenal. We in' threw a five-year deal at Aaron Ramsey for crying out loud!
Chamakh, Squillaci and Djourou are walking out the door. resistanze, let's throw a party whether Arsenal make the Champions League or not.![]()

tbh, I didn't realize they were still with the club.
YES!
Now hopefully they're eaten by a pack of wolves on their way out.
